The Prince and Princess of Wales said they are 'incredibly sad' to hear about the tragic incident after the pilot died during a crash near RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire this afternoon.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have expressed their profound sadness on hearing about the tragic death of a Royal Air Force pilot in a Spitfire crash near RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire.
Emergency services rushed to the crash site on Langrick Road in Lincolnshire just before 1.20pm on Saturday. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire was reportedly flying near the air station when the incident occurred. An official spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence articulately said: "It is with great sadness that we must confirm the death of an RAF pilot in a tragic accident near RAF Coningsby today.
"Thank you to the emergency services for their response. My thoughts are with the pilot's family at this awful time." On the same platform, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sent his condolences: "Awful news to see the life of a serving RAF pilot cut short in this tragic event. My thoughts are with their family and loved ones."
It is believed to be a single occupant aircraft and nobody else is thought to have been involved. Road closures are in place in the areas of Dogdyke Road and Sandy Bank. Motorists are asked to avoid the area and seek alternative routes."
